Teenagers are tough on their shoes, the Apex is built to last, whilst providing stability, durability and cushioning.
'Sports Shoes in Disguise'
Kids don't walk they run. At Ascent we understand kids are hard on their school shoes, that is why we have a 6 month rubber outsole guarantee.

OUTSOLE
• 6 Month Outsole Guarantee - Confidence that the perpetual rubber outsole will hold up to the toughest school activities.
• Perpetual Rubber - Hardest wearing material enhancing the durability and longevity of the shoe. Excellent traction between the shoe and the ground. Non-marking.
CUSHIONING
• Arch Support Insole (EVA) - Arch support and pronation control. Removable, making the shoe suitable for orthotics. Also promotes airflow under the foot during activity.
• EVA - Soft, lightweight cushioning that absorbs impact shock.
• INSULON® - Cushions and absorbs shock that over time causes bone and muscle trauma.
STABILITY
• Heel Stabiliser - Additional heel stability and 'hold' around the base of the heel. The Apex style has an extended heel stabilizer, providing additional medial stability for over-pronators.
• Nylon Shank - Supports the arch area of the foot, and prevents the shoe from bending in the wrong place (in the middle of the shoe). The shoe should naturally bend across the joints in the forefoot region.
• Thermoplastic Heel Counter - Supports the ankle and holds the heel firmly in place, providing excellent stability when the foot first strikes the ground. A firm heel counter is essential for fundamental support and stability.
UPPER
• Double Black Full Grain Leather - Have you had black shoes that have scuffed the surface and a grey colour shows through? DOUBLE BLACK leather prevents this. Surface scuffs are invisible with DOUBLE BLACK. Full grain leather is hard wearing and breathable, becoming richer and deeper with wear, molding and adapting to your foot like no other material. Resistant to high temperatures, resistant to tearing, cracking, and peeling. It's naturally insulating, but also breathable.
